Pirate Bay Traffic Doubles In 3 Years

Pirate Bay, which is worthy of laying claim to being the most censored site on the Internet, has seen it go through some rather tumultuous times, having been blocked by national firewalls in different countries worldwide, is not fazed by it all. In fact, you can more or less say that more and more folks tend to make use of it each day, so much so that over the course of the past three years, traffic to the Pirate Bay has doubled.

Of course, when one takes into consideration improved Internet connectivity in different areas around the world, this is to be expected, not to mention various workarounds that different people have discovered in order to access this highly talked about site. There is also the fact that more and more people are going online after discovering this thing called the “Internet”, too.

Despite the numbers pointing to the torrent site doing relatively well, this does not mean that all of the various blockades put up against it are of no use. In fact, the extra traffic could very well hail from different countries, and according to the Pirate Bay, close to 9% of all visitors make use of proxies. While many movie studios shun the Pirate Bay for what it is, a movie director decided to do otherwise and uploaded his movie to the torrent site instead.
